new

Got the key and went to look at the new studio gallery-
120 w.state st. it's located above state of the art gallery. just a flight up or two. tomorrow the raven desk will return out of storage. that is extra exciting to me. i will probably be there fairly often, you will see a cool sculpture outside when i am there. then you can come on upstairs and visit the studio. every gallery night i will have something new going on, i have lots of ideas. my plan is to create this haven, where i will finally make and produce all the things on my wish list .first project is this very special mega painting i am making for a beautiful couple in a beautiful home with mile high ceilings.

silent call

this is my copyrighted  work for a book concept. i love that you can't hear it. but you know its deep. i thought i didn't have the best hearing. but thats not true. that was just a random thought in my mind that i held on to. since upon realizing that, i am tuned to even more..................................

wintering

i am in the house, teetering. some days i amaze myself when i actually perk-up.finding creative sparks through the gray. thank goodness for show business. i have two brand new shows-one is at fine line bistro on state st, the other is at korova bar on the commons. the piece above is at korova. this show is on paper, they are real posters. interesting how i can work even faster on paper and there is this very cool energy that comes from just going for it. they are somewhat mixed media, with my images cut out kind of like wall paper. i do not like those posters that hang in the workplace- so these are my attempts at inspirational works slightly askew. at korova the , tim who takes care of the shows custom painted the walls to compliment my art. now that is awesome beyond the call of duty. he said my new show is really urban, i agree.

trust

this is one of ten pieces at my new show at fine line bistro. now i am creating ten more pieces for my show at korova by march first. i really have to keep the creative juice flowing. for the korova show i am working on paper and they will be more of a poster. not sure yet exactly, but i am experimenting with a new fast idea. economical in all regards.

but first lets talk about trust. is it easier to fear than trust? which takes less energy? i consciously choose trust. i have to remind myself of that. very zen.

painterly lola

here is the  painted version of lola the chicken. often when i was painting her i would think it was odd for me to be painting a chicken portrait. there is no doubt this bird is loved. i have been sitting with her once she was done.... i think i will need a photo with lola and her painting.

portrait of lola

okay so here is beloved lola. this will be 2feet by 2feet- if you ever see a woman with a back pack and a live white chicken in it, no doubt that would be lola.............. i think i sort of have her, with a bit more tweaking. she actually has this upside down heart.

to ride the night of day

it will not actually be painted like this. this is just a sketchmap. i have been sitting with this image in my mind since i visited . i hope they like it. the people on the horse, and that is not a cat ok. imagine this large.
